Poem
May the first is traditionally the beginning of Spring St Joseph is their patron saint this day to be the only free day when no workers joined the throng of people shuffling looking already tired to wherever they work, eyes down still shut tight Make them work long hours you will find was their bosses right. May Day the food was prepared with what money they had try to find some newish clothes to wear, though second or third hand. Their beautiful daughters would wash their hair then brush it until it gleamed a small flower was placed with utmost care A maypole is placed in the village square With bright coloured ribbons dangling there The fiddler would play, soon up stepped the gents follwed by the maidens, with no lover as yet They weaved and they bobbed shouting with glee Many a romance started when they danced happily At the side the morris men would dance Jiggling their bells sending you into a trance All made for a happy day, set in your memory making you smile for another year before a day free The may queen was chosen some blushing young beauty Crowned with a ring of flowers and a small bouquet She would dance for the people in a small ring waiting to see who wrote and would recite the winning madrigal May first brings the spring and buds bursting into flowers A trillion small petals like a shower would flutter down the myriad it makes brings a smile to your eyes Cheers everybody it's spring, our bodies need this time to relax and survive Penned 10 April 2015 * madrigal. - a short love poem Picture taken by an old friend Dave Chang who gave me permission to use it.
